Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO Novel (Emmanuel Lowe) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

“Please don’t jump to conclusions like that again, Ms. Quillen. People might

think you’re jealous.”

Emmanuel raised his arm and stepped away from Mackenzie.

“Hmph! I told you I don’t like you. Why would I be jealous?”

Mackenzie was not going to admit that an all-powerful CEO who hated

men like her that such an ordinary man could incur her jealousy.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

“Good point.”

Emmanuel laughed. “I remember you mentioning once that you wouldn’t

mind if I spoke to other women after our marriage, Ms. Quillen. I’ve never

taken you up on the offer. Why the sudden change in mind?”

Mackenzie wheezed with rage. Her chest heaved rapidly. “As I said, this is a

matter of pride! I’m only worried about people finding out about your

indiscretions!”

Emmanuel turned to regard her. As the atmosphere had regained its

calm, he teased, “I see. But your actions earlier did make it look like you

were jealous.”

“Stop dreaming! I told you I don’t like men, and you even less!”

Mackenzie clenched her teeth in visible agitation.

The mighty and imperious CEO is losing on every end to the gynecologist.

“There’s no need to emphasize your dislike for me, Ms. Quillen. I don’t really

like you myself; I just need a woman to deal with my mother and keep her

happy, so she would not keep trying to set me up! I’m just worried my

mother would not take our divorce well.”

Emmanuel opted to be frank. “You can blackmail me with this, Ms. Quillen,

but please do not accuse me of being unfaithful. You want your reputation

and pride, but it cannot be at the cost of my innocence and dignity.”

Throughout their quarrel, he noticed that Mackenzie did not argue like

other girls, who would remain stubborn and force their boyfriends to

compromise.

She thought Emmanuel had a point, so she took her time to regain her

composure before saying, in a lower voice than before, “I’m sorry. I have

been hasty in my judgment.”
